We finally finished up the DB Design book this week. Marcus Marler, a web designer for the UT Comp. Sciences dept., also came to class to demo his TA matching system that he designed for the department. The significance of his visit is that he was showing us the fully implemented system that each group in our class would (attempt to) recreate over the next eight weeks.
The purpose of the system is to match graduate students who apply to TA a CS course with courses that need TA's, using the Stable Marriage Problem algorithm, which happened to be individual project that everyone just submitted last weekend. The system has three types of users: Administrators, Faculty, and TA applicants. As the project unfolds, I'll share more.
